Picture of the Day
(http://www.vtgrandpa.com/photos/albums/MikeCain-2010-archive1/15maple.jpg)
15 Maple Street is no more.
LINKS AND STUFF
Had a follow-up on the fistula Monday. Everything looks fine. They said I can start using that arm more.
One fun thing to see during these Olympic games is the newspaper headlines from Canada. The Newseum in Washington D.C. has a website and they have a page where you can click dots on the map to get the front pages of that day's newspaper. Really fun to see the "tabloid" newspapers like the New York Post or Daily News when there is a scandal of some sort. Or when something big happens in a certain city, to see the headlines the next day.

When you get there, click North America to get the Canadian newspapers. It's all Olympic coverage.
Twitter has been really interesting whenever major events take place. They can even be sporting events. I follow Twitter with my iPhone, but you can also follow along with your computer.
During the Daytona 500, Kevin Harvick's wife, Delana was tweeting on how Kevin was doing. NASCAR was also keeping up to date with the race's progress.
Start with going to www.twitter.com (http://www.twitter.com).
Then add a slash(/) and add any of the following-

2 houses before the covered bridge. Next to the big brown one on the river. Glad it is gone.
